Sweep away all the bad bits (poem)

Sweep away all the bad bits

Sweep away all the bad bits, clear them out of your mind,
Opening up some clear space for the good bits to find.
It may be an effort, there may be a lot to do,
But it will be worth it, once you have seen the task through.
Open the windows, let the staleness out of the place,
Feel the breeze of new hope drift in, let it touch your face.
Let the light of possibilities return once more,
Then turn towards tomorrow and open up its door.

Sweet memories that are yet to be (poem)

Sweet memories that are yet to be

Sweet memories that are yet to be,
A better future that I can see.
A promising start for tomorrow,
A life that will lessen my sorrow.
It’s not quite here, but it’s not too far,
Its light is there, like a shining star.
Soon it will be a part of my life,
Ready to sweep away any strife.

Sitting in this moment, inbetween,
I can reflect on all that I’ve seen.
Not everything was bad, that I know,
But some things, I will gladly let go.
Some things are worth keeping, tucked away,
As memories for another day.
The rest I will leave here in a stack,
For I may occasionally look back.

I can see the time’s arrived at last,
Time for me to let go of the past.
That those sweet memories will now start,
As I stand up from here and depart.
I have no idea what I will find,
As I now let the future unwind.
As I start walking towards the new,
Already there is a better view.
